Bangalore, Karnataka -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/26/2012 -- A 55 yrs old male patient had a asymptomatic left sided renal tumor confined to the kidney, which was detected on health check up.

The gold standard treatment for such tumour is nephron sparing surgery or partial nephrectomy where tumour with a healthy margin is excised.

At NARAYANA HRUDAYALAYA Bangalore, we performed this NEPHRON SPARING SURGERY for renal tumour of 4cm by laparoscopic method. This major laparoscopic surgery is being done only in few centers accross India.

We are happy to inform that NARAYANA HRUDAYALAYA has entered a list of hospitals where such a rare surgery is being done.
